The South Australian Advertiser, Saturday 27 August
1859
THE ALFRED.-This Hamburg barque arrived yesterday, the 25th
August, from the place whence she hails, under the command of Captain Meyer,
the same gentleman
who arrived at this port in the Auguste. The vessel he has now
brought out has concluded her second voyage to Sonth Australia, having sailed
hence about eighteen
months since for London with wool. The voyage this time has been one of a smart
character, she having sailed from Hamburg on May 7th, and entered Table Bay
after being at sea 49 days. A detention of 16 days here transpired ; tripping
anchor again on July 19th, and making the run to this port in 34 days, being
100 days from the time of departure from Hamburg. Amongst her passengers are
a large number of Prussians, a
great number being bound to Victoria.

An index from the State Library South
Australia (SLSA) shows that 115 German migrants should have been
on the Alfred for Port Adelaide, and 35 for Melbourne
a total of 150 immigrants. I have been able to find the 115 + 30 as
listed below — Regards
Robert.

note.— There are very
few surviving original lists of German passengers, so
the data below has been compiled from a variety of sources,
such as contemporary newspaper(s), internet sources,
input from descendants and the South Australian Heraldry
Genealogy society, (SAGHS).
I know the list is incomplete and may contain errors, so any feedback with
additions or corrections, will be most appreciated. Please contact me
using the link above. Regards
Robert, Adelaide
